A checklist of 82 ant species recorded from Gambia is given. Key words: ants, faunistics, Gambia, new country records. INTRODUCTION Ants fauna of Gambia (West Africa) is poorly known. Literature data, AntWeb and other Internet resources recorded only 59 species from this country. For comparison from Senegal, which surrounds three sides of Gambia, 89 species have been recorded so far. Both of these records seem poor when compared with 654 species known from the whole western Africa (SHUCKARD 1840, ANDRÉ 1889, EMERY 1892, MENOZZI 1926, SANTSCHI 1939, LUSH 2007, ANTWIKI 2017, ANTWEB 2017, DIAMÉ et al. 2017, TAYLOR 2018). Most records from Gambia come from general web checklists of species. Unfortunately, they lack locality data, date of sampling, collector name, coordinates of the locality and notes on habitats.

Hodges Interim Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded September 2017 ii © 2017 Sandy Steven Avomo Ndong iii THESIS ABSTRACT Sandy Steven Avomo Ndong Master of Arts Department of International Studies September 2017 Title: Human-wildlife Conflict: Comparing Pongara and Ivindo National Parks in Gabon Human-wildlife conflicts around protected areas are important issues affecting conservation, especially in Africa. In Gabon, this conflict revolves around crop-raiding by protected wildlife, especially elephants. Elephants’ crop-raiding threaten livelihoods and undermines conservation efforts. Gabon is currently using monetary compensation and electric fences to address this human-elephant conflict. This thesis compares the impacts of the human-elephant conflict in Pongara and Ivindo National Parks based on their idiosyncrasy. Information was gathered through systematic review of available literature and publications, observation, and semi-structured face to face interviews with local residents, park employees, and experts from the National Park Agency.

  • Wilderness Safaris Apart
    Our journeys change lives Our journeys change lives Below: A mobile safari in the early days, circa 1985 Above: Staff at Kalahari Plains singing to guests 2 3 The story of Wilderness It was in Botswana that we first fell in love with the wilderness. In 1983, two experienced safari guides, Colin Bell and Chris MacIntyre, who had been working in the remote reaches of Botswana, decided to strike out on their own. They wanted to somehow guarantee that the financial benefits of their safaris flowed to the country and its people, ensuring the sustainable protection of the country’s wildlife areas. In retrospect this approach was logical and today forms the cornerstone and central tenet of ecotourism the world over, but in the early 1980s it was a groundbreaking philosophy and set Wilderness Safaris apart. What also set us apart was our fervent desire to offer authentic safaris that catered for people as passionate about nature as we were. So, registering Wilderness Safaris as a Botswana company with a logo representing the African skimmer (a bird restricted to pristine ecosystems), we based ourselves in Maun, south of the Okavango Delta, and started running mobile safaris. By 1985, we had begun to establish tented camps on exclusive sites in the Okavango Delta. Then, in 1990, we were offered an opportunity to run an unknown camp called Mombo on Chief’s Island. It was in an area that had been heavily hunted, but within a few years of photographic safaris, Mombo had rapidly developed an enviable international reputation. This was achieved mostly through exceptional viewing of large predator species in a spectacular landscape into which plains game streamed once it was clear that hunting was no longer practiced there.
